"Madness is a mental state in which a human being is completely
identified with illusory thoughts. Ultimately, what is real? What is an
illusion? We all encounter these issues at some point of the journey.
The answers come when we have a certain degree of control over the mind.
However, the mind has been out of our control for a long time now. The
mind is controlling us. It’s like a television that’s turned on 24/7
inside of us. Are we able to turn it off or, at the very least, to
change the channel? Most of humanity has a television turned on inside
them that is stuck on a particular channel: the drama channel. We remain
there suffering with the story we created for ourselves. In this story
we tell ourselves, we are betrayed, rejected, disrespected, humiliated,
and so forth. We try to think differently, but we cannot – our minds
have complete dominion over our personality. This is a kind of madness.”
